How to Farm XP Fast

Farm Through Enemy Spotting

Enemy Spotting are actions that cause enemy players to be highlighted in both the minimap and in combat, which provides the player who has done the "spotting" with small increments of XP for every enemy that they spot, usually 5 XP for every enemy spotted.

Depending on the method a player uses to spot enemies, they can also be revealed to teammates. A team member's successful kill of a spotted enemy will give even more XP, usually 50 XP, to the player who spotted them – making enemy spotting a lucrative way of farming XP.

Gain XP Against Enemy AI

Players can also gain XP from Enemy AI in Solo and Co-op modes, or by playing custom matches in Battlefield Portal. This allows you to increase your rank without playing online. You can gain a similar ammount of XP, allowing you to rank up and unlock more weapons, vehicles, and gear to use.

AI Enemy XP Cap

While XP can be gained from AI enemies, there is an XP level cap that will limit the amount that you gain after each game. There will be a "Cap Reached" message after playing a few rounds against AI enemies.

This means that a huge amount of in-game progression must be done by playing online game modes like Conquest, Breakthrough, and Hazard Zone.

Level Up Weapons and Vehicles

Gaining XP also allows you to unlock weapons and vehicles, which will help give you better equipment in the game. You can also unlock more equipment, skins, and attachments that will enhance their stats and capabilities, or add more visual effects for style.

Unlock Attachments with Kill Count

You unlock new weapons by levelling up however, it doesn't mean that you also unlock its attachments. Battlefield 2042 offers a different reward system for unlocking attachments: Kill Count.

You can "level up" the maximum potential of your gun by successfully performing kills with it.

Eliminate Enemies While Using Vehicles

Kills and assists while riding vehicles also gives you a lot of XP, as you can stay inside one air or ground vehicle for a long period of time, and keep attacking targets with teammates. The best strategy is to keep moving to different sectors and help your team capture more points by providing support while capturing.

Level Up Weapons and Vehicles Against AI

You can gain weapon attachments and vehicle equipment by playing against AI enemies. However, like ranking up, there is a limit to how much you can unlock after playing a number of games.

XP Farming Tips

Assists give the same amount of XP as Kills

Assists give the same amount of XP as kills, 50. You can farm XP by forming assists with different specialists and gadgets on any map or game mode. However, if you simply want to farm we recommend playing on Breakthrough and using any of these recommended Specialists and Gadgets.

All you have to do is to keep spotting and tagging enemies with your Recon Gear and let your teammates do the killing.

How to Spot Enemies and Use the Ping System

Casper and the OV-P Recon Drone

With Casper's Recon Drone, you can simply find a good bush to hide in, summon your drone and tag as many enemies as you can moving forward only when you need to.

Paik and the EMG-X Sensor

With Paik's EMG-X Sensor, you can also tag enemies as your push forward with your squad. Paik's sensor range is only 30m but in battle, that 30m advantage is enough to turn the tide.

Angel and the Loadout Crate

With Angel's Loadout Crate, you can resupply your troops with ammo, but more importantly you can resupply yourself with the Prox Sensor. Using the Prox Sensor, you can upload the positions of enemy in the Combat Network.

You can use the Prox Sensor with any Specialist, but the reason we chose Angel in combination with the Prox Sensor is that Angel's Loadout Crate will resupply you with the full refill of 2 Prox Sensors, instead of just one.

Capture Sectors With Your Team

One of the quickest ways to farm XP during a game is by capturing sectors during Conquest Mode. Capturing sectors can be challenging when done by a small number of players, which is why the best strategy is to stick with your team and overwhelm the enemy sector to gain control. This will give you a steady amount of XP gain during each game, even when your kill and assist numbers are low.

Kill Enemies and Destroy Enemy Vehicles

Killing enemies and destroying enemy vehicles also give you XP points. You can also gain more XP when you eliminate enemies while capturing or defending a sector, since that counts as defending the objective.

Earn Ribbons During Combat

Performing actions such as capturing or reviving teammates multiple times allows you to earn ribbons.

These ribbons give you bonus XP points, and you can level up each one to gain even more while you play the game. These actions include killing a certain number of enemies and targets, capturing sectors, and gathering information.

How to Get More Ribbons

Gain More EXP by Winning

Winning games in Battlefield 2042 will grant you more XP, giving you a Victory Bonus that allows you to increase your level faster. Keep winning games to earn more EXP points and unlock more weapons, gear, skins, and vehicles.

Level Up Mid-game

While playing the game, earning enough EXP will activate a prompt that shows that you have increased your level. You can also see the number of weapons or gear that you have unlocked.

How to Level Up

Gain XP from Matches

Level up by gaining experience through playing matches. Racking up kills is just one of many ways to gain experience in Battlefield 2042. Assisting teammates and capturing objectives will also be pivotal in gaining XP.

XP Rewards

Level Cap (Max Level)

Max Level is at Level 99
